Yes i think even if t DOES agree with you, its kinda his job to urge you to deal with what is actually in front of you - something that disagrees with you. You are seeing him, not your h. So he needs to help you deal with your h, who we can assume is the fixed (ie unmoving) point. As a representative of the rest of the frustrating world. His job is not to keep the world from frustrating you - it always will. If only he could! Even stopdog would love that t!

New rumour about me, I heard from the family grapevine. Apparently I secretly got married that’s why I don’t come to visit.

I was this on a phone call today with my mother today. I ordered bowls for her. They sent the wrong ones. The company arranged for a courier to come collect them from the house and my father was shouting at me in the background which made me cry. It triggered huge self harm feelings which I haven’t felt for donkey years. All he would have to do would be to seal bowls in the box them came and hand them over.

The reason I don’t go home to visit when I’ve had multiple chances to do so, is because I’ve never felt it to be a home. I don’t want myself esteem to be chipped down even further than it already is.

I couldn’t really contribute to the shampoo discussion, so here’s a gym fashion note for you:

1. Those Under Armour Freedom tees are really popular.
2. Pastel workout wear is a growing trend among men.
3. Women’s shorty shorts have been adopted by men, but instead of emphasizing the rear booty as in women, they emphasize the front…I really don’t know where to look sometimes.

I don't use shampoo at all - haven't done so for the last 25 yrs or so - my hair is much happier without it -but I did not have great hair to begin with.

1. don't know what those are but I do like my under armour wind shirts
2. I just thought my gaydar was off for men
3. ugh - my imagination eyes are creeped out

I do not like capri leggings on men. Usually mens legs are waaaay too skinny, and idk it just gives bathrobe vibes, doesnt it? Nobody wants to see that in public.

I just looked up men capri pants because I do know that men wear shorts down to the knee usually or just slightly below the knee so I wanted to see the difference in length. I agree. Nobody wants to see bathrobe length in public on men.

I completely agree it is not the job of the therapist to make the world different/unfrustrating. I would absolutely not love it if a therapist could do such - I would never trust one them to do it right. Or even half right - therapists be crazy. The very thought is giving me the willies of being controlled by one of those people.

Well i am getting the week/weekend off to a good start. Got my groceries put away, my meals scheduled for the week - im back on weight watchers for 12 days now, blood sugar is going down into acceptable range, weight hopefully will follow. Its a real jigsaw puzzle, figuring out what works for you.

It’s definitely a puzzle. My weight has been on a major upswing for a year now. I’m getting ready to try things to see if I can get it to start going down. WW always worked for me but it didn’t help much the last time I tried.

my weight has been creeping back up since October. Part of the reason here lately is that I have become addicted to Taco Bell's Nacho Fries.

Shh.

ArtieTheSequal · Jun 14, 2024 at 06:18 PM

... that I'm sitting here eating right now because I was just over at our friend's house watering their plants while they're out of town, and there just so happens to be a Taco Bell between their house and mine heehee

I'm hoping my new diabetic med, Ozempic, will help me lose weight. H has been on it for 2 years? And he lost a ton of weight. I recently lost weight because two new meds made me so nauseous. But I'm off both now because I couldn't take the side effects.

unaluna · Jun 14, 2024 at 08:07 PM

I am crawling into bed as i had a rough day, and i am like, why is the sun still up at 10 pm??? Yeah no duh its 9 pm.

Next week i am going to try to not "go into my weekly points, and that would put me in weight loss mode. This week i have just been trying to make good choices and not overeat.

But its still a win because previous go rounds i would have completely blown the budget by now, and quit.

My ordering Shipt has really helped me organize and plan my grocery shopping. I used to be all over the place. I feel as if i have grown as a person!

Hope it helps, Scarlet! I've heard it's easier for men to lose weight in general, which is annoying.
